This photo shows the first
part of my commute to work from where we lived in Sedona, Arizona
to James Turrell's shop & home called Back
O'Beyond. Here, I forded Oak Creek when the weather permitted. Cathedral
Rock is in the background.

From there, I headed to
Roden Crater, a 70+ mile one-way trip.

I was always
on the watch for hard rains that would turn the mild creeks into raging
and dangerous rivers or winter snows that could cause the commute
to become very challenging and sometimes impossible.
